Everything You Need to Know About Land Registry Document Translation and Interpreting
Yes. The Land Registry Regulation requires a sworn interpreter to be present if one of the applicants does not speak Turkish. The interpreter facilitates the understanding and accurate communication of official explanations and declarations between the parties. Before the assignment, the language pair, type of transaction, appointment details and interpreter documentation accepted by the relevant Land Registry Directorate are confirmed.
The Land Registry Regulation provides for sworn interpreters to submit to the relevant Land Registry Directorate the official record of the oath taken before a court pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure. Before the appointment, the interpreter’s identity and the documentation required for the relevant language and transaction are confirmed with the Land Registry Directorate. Any notarial procedures relating to document translation are assessed separately.
Document translation involves the written translation of passports, powers of attorney, title deeds and other documents into the target language. Land registry interpreting, on the other hand, involves oral interpretation during appointments and document signing. Both services can be arranged together for the same case. The written quotation separately specifies the documents to be translated, any certification or notarisation requirements and the duration of the interpreter’s assignment.
Interpreting requirements can be assessed for land registry procedures involving sales, transfers and donations; mortgages, discharges and annotations; as well as inheritance and transfers of ownership. Document translation and interpreting services may also be arranged for citizenship-related transactions and applications submitted on behalf of companies. The scope of services is determined based on the type of transaction, language pair, relevant Land Registry Directorate and interpreter availability.
The source and target languages, type of transaction, relevant Land Registry Directorate, and appointment date and time should be provided. The estimated duration, parties’ contact details, application number (if available) and copies of documents requiring translation may also be submitted. Names and official titles appearing in passports, powers of attorney or corporate documents are reviewed in advance, and the assignment details and meeting arrangements are confirmed.
Yes. Passports, identity documents and powers of attorney can be translated as required. The script used in the passport, the language of the document and the requirements of the relevant Land Registry Directorate may affect the need for translation. For powers of attorney issued abroad, authentication and authorisation requirements are checked alongside translation requirements. The applicable document and certification requirements are confirmed before the transaction.
Certification requirements are assessed based on the document type, country of issuance, intended transaction and requirements of the relevant Land Registry Directorate. Powers of attorney issued abroad may require a notarised Turkish translation and appropriate authentication or legalisation. After reviewing a copy of the document, the translation, notarisation and any additional authentication requirements are clarified. Final document acceptance requirements are confirmed with the relevant Land Registry Directorate.
Fees are determined based on the language pair, type of transaction, assignment location, travel requirements, appointment duration and expected waiting time. The volume and urgency of document translation may also affect the quotation. The included assignment duration and the terms for additional waiting time or extensions are specified in writing. Translation and interpreting fees, together with any notarial fees and official charges, are itemised separately.
Same-day requests are assessed based on the language pair, time, location, type of transaction, interpreter availability and documentation requirements of the relevant Land Registry Directorate. Providing appointment details and relevant documents as early as possible helps facilitate planning. The interpreter assignment is confirmed after the necessary preliminary checks and written confirmation. If the appointment changes, interpreter availability and working conditions are reassessed.
Document translation and interpreting services can be arranged for these transactions, including interpreting during Land Registry appointments. Relevant subject-matter expertise and terminology are taken into account when handling citizenship applications, inheritance documents and corporate authorisation documents. Our services are limited to language support, while the legal requirements of the transaction and application are assessed by the competent authorities. Document and interpreter requirements are confirmed with the relevant Land Registry Directorate.
